# Before the event

> Plan, set up and sell: an ordered checklist from first login to opening day, with optional PLVR Tap setup.

## Goal

Have a public event page, tickets people can buy, and a team that knows what to do on the day.

## Checklist

**1. Get started**

Set up your organization and invite your team. See [Onboarding](/getting-started/onboarding), [Organization settings](/organization/settings) and [Team and roles](/organization/team).

**2. Build the event page**

Fill in the [Event editor](/events/event-editor).

**3. Set up tickets**

Prices, quantities, sale windows and add-ons in [Ticket management](/tickets/ticket-management). New to tickets? Read [Ticket concepts](/tickets/concepts). Need free tickets? See [Complimentary tickets](/tickets/comp-tickets).

**4. Choose checkout questions**

Decide what buyers answer in the [Registration form](/events/registration-form). If you approve guests, see [RSVP](/events/rsvp).

**5. Go through the launch checklist**

Follow the [launch checklist](/guides/launch-checklist) before you open sales.

**6. Promote**

Create [Tracking links](/promotions/tracking-links) and [Promo codes](/promotions/promo-codes), enroll [Affiliates](/promotions/affiliates), and send [Email campaigns](/promotions/campaigns). See the [promote your event guide](/guides/promote-your-event).

**7. Optional: set up PLVR Tap**

For cashless events only. Start with the [PLVR Tap overview](/tap/introduction), then [Top-up setup](/tap/top-up-setup), [Vendors](/tap/vendors) and the [cashless festival setup guide](/guides/cashless-festival-setup).

**8. Prepare event day**

Create login codes in [Onsite staff](/onsite/onsite-staff) and set up [Door sales](/promotions/door-sales) if you will sell at the gate. Read the [event day runbook](/guides/event-day-runbook).

## Who does this

Mostly the [Core team](/roles/core-team), with the [Marketing team](/roles/marketing-team) on promotion. For your event type, see [small events](/organizers/small-events), [mid-size events](/organizers/mid-size-events), [festivals](/organizers/festivals) or [recurring community events](/organizers/recurring-community).

## What done looks like

* The event page is complete and tickets are on sale.
* Checkout questions are chosen.
* Every promotion channel has its own link or code.
* Staff have login codes and know their jobs.
* For cashless events, stations and vendors are ready.
